That is lovely to hear. I think the general conscious is that not a single programming language has done Async right. So people are a little sceptical. But Andrew and the team so far seems to have the do it right mentality. So I guess people should be a little more optimistic.

Cant wait for 0.15 coming out soon.

I would argue that Java's async is pretty nifty, especially now that some of the rough edges have been sanded off.

      The entire language is single thread. But I/O uses a separate thread pool.

      Are you talking about extra 120 bytes per Promise?

      How does it manifest in JS? You can `await` non-async function without any issues, anything potentially async is awaited, if it doesn't end up doing async inside there is no problem.
